Yep, agree NL. i guess I was slightly off topic, as I was responding to the people who often ask the differences, and which is better etc..... rather than “why doesn’t a pro change to a Chinese rubber”. in conclusion.... if you are a Pro...... get off the forum and go and practice! Your game...

For those following the thread, and genuinely wondering "just why are Chinese rubbers 'this' or 'that' ", can I suggest you pick one up? It doesn't have to be H3, although it might as well be, because it's not very expensive! Try it out, see if you like it! I know people who have played EURO...

Player head to head doesn't matter in my opinion (unless there is literally nothing else separating the players). Just because player X beats player Y every time they play, it doesn't always mean that player X is the better overall player - It just means that they have the beating of player Y...

I think that anyone who becomes World Number 1 will always have that warm fuzzy feeling of being able to say they made it..... But deep down, they'll know that it's not real (not yet anyway). This conversation in a years time will have so much more credibility.

ok, that makes sense. I guess from a Chinese point of view he’s amazing to have (a bit like Tony Romo commentating on the NFL). Either we we all need to learn Chinese, or LGL needs to become fluent in English

On my phone, so apologies for not quoting. I wasnt in a blue tracksuit - But that guy sounds cool! Haha In regards to commentary, I actually don’t think having someone speak in a really technical way is the best thing for the game. LGL would be great to analyse the match afterwards (I can’t...

I was at the final today - Yeah, the matches were one sided, but to see FzD and ML in their prime was amazing! Although one of the hightlighrs for me was catching up with Adam Bobrow in the commentary box next to where I was sitting. What a genuinely super nice guy he is! His commentary...

Well..... I've gotta say I'm disappointed it won't be a Germany vs China Final - Although without Timo, I guess that would have been difficult to achieve anyway. Looks like it'll be China vs Korea or Japan!

Hey Beef! I played in the Towcester League for years, but dropped it this year as I was playing in Northampton and MK leagues! I'll be at the Vic Fisher next week though (in your home village!) Are you playing?

Genuinely gutted there will be no Timo Boll!

I watched most of this over the weekend, and would love some opinions from others who saw it (especially any Chinese people). My take outs are: 1. The best performance by a mile was Chris Doran against Andre Baggaley in the Quarters - Probably the best match of "Ping Pong" I've seen. 2. The...

I think everything I said still applies to be honest. Unless you are very very good with long pips, you wouldn't win many (any) games in the Prem in most local leagues - So I'm not sure you'd be trolling anyone - You'd just be giving them an easy win. I can't help you with the excitement with...

What level do you play at? I'm going to make some assumptions based on your post - Everyone can ignore them if wrong :) You've said you are looking to join a local league in September..... That would indicate the standard you play at currently isn't *that* high? In a nutshell...... People who...

Not sure if there will be tables there - I would doubt it, but you never know. My club is about an hour north of London if anyone wanted a hit - Our club night is on Fridays!

That's very good! Anyone bringing their bats with them??

Oooooof - What a trek! ;)

I don't mean players - I mean YOU! I'm heading down with my son on the finals day (Sunday). How far and wide are you spectators coming from?

Hi DD, I used the Schlager Carbon Tamca 5000 blade for years - It's hard to recommend a rubber for "looping, flicks and chops" on the backhand - They are all very different strokes. Obviously Tenergy would be a great option, but it's hardly a budget rubber. If you wanted to experiment with...

I guess you have to define what "crazy" means - The best rally was Ouaiche, especially with the epic finish! But as an individual shot.... it's just an epic epic backhand (relatively normal). The spin and position on both swap hand shots win it for me - Just unbelievable skill!
